Relation Reference: Limit number of entries (resp. unlimit it) per widget

PR Description:

Possiblity to set the limit of values in the Relation Reference Widget:

Before the limit of the RelationReference could have been configured over the very hidden Advanced Settings and has been set per QGIS Profile (local) and generally for all RelationReference widgets (and the example drop-down in the Expression Builder).

Means, when no setting has been done yet (on new or old projects), the value from the local Advanced Setting is read into the widget settings (on opening the configuration) and the option to set a limit is activated

Backwards compatibilty:

As mentioned: When no setting has been done yet (on new or old projects), the value from the local Advanced Setting is read into the widget settings (on opening the configuration) and the option to set a limit is activated. After storing, this value is considered (even when the user changes the value of the Advanced Setting). When deactivating the "Limit number of entries", the limit is not considered (fetchLimit is set to 0), but the value in the setting persists in case of activating it again. On doing no configuration at all, the setting from the Advanced Setting is considered as well.
